ku-klux are preparing for another on

friends of the late Logan and James
Belt, who lived in the neighboring
county of Gallatin. Not less than eight
others who have received these notices
have been waylaid and killed. A meet
ing of the citizens of the county is
called for Aug. e to ferret out the muir
deroUS mysteries. The gang is some
what of the order of Bald KnobberS and
is getting bolder with each successive
crime. Earl Sherwood, one of the per

CAMDEN. \. j., Aug IA more ter
rible tragedy never occurred i'll this city
than that which was enacted i'll South
Camden few minutes before this
evening. when William W. Wiltshire,
fifty-two years of age. and keeper of an
oyster saloon. shot his wife Ella, aged
forty-seven, deliberately murdered JUS
tice OF the Peace William S. Darr (cOl-
Ored). and then finished the work of de-
struction by sending bullet through
his own brain, dying almost instantly.
The tragedy occurred in Squire Darr's
office. Wiltshire had lived unhappily
with his wife. The couple had three
children, aged six, twelve and fifteen.
About two weeks ago Mrs. Wiltshire,
becoming tired of her husbands
abuse, went TO Squire Darr'S
Office and had warrant is
sued charging him with nom
tried and ordered to pay So per week for
the support of his wife and children.
Instead of giving the wife the amount
ordered by the court he gave her but
s.. The woman appealed fOF more but
her husband refused to listen. the con-
sequence being that the old family
quarrel was renewed till death put an
end to it. Previous to the tragedy this
evening Wiltshire entered the house,
graSped his wife by the throat and COM
menced choking her. She succeeded in
getting away from him and ran to the
Office of the unfortunate squire. She
was telling him her troubles when
her husband entered, and three min

Nitten. cOlOred preacher, who was an
eyewitness to the tragedy, says that
Mrs. Wiltshire was telling the squire of
the abuse she had received at the hands
her husband when Wiltshire entered
the Office The squire gently remOn-
Strated with the man for the wrongful
treatment of his wife. when Wiltshire,
who seemed craZed from an uncOntrol-
able passion. pulled large caliber re-
volyer and fired two shots at his wife.
The first somewhat stunned her, but
the second did the work and the women
fell to the floor lifeleSS. Within
an instant Wiltshire changed his posi-
ton slightly and fired at the innocent
sqtEre The bail struck him in the
right temple. and falling to the floor he
expired almost instantly. The man, af-
ter completing his murderOuS work,
walked out of the Office with the SmOk-
Ing revolver i'll his hands, without say
ing a word. He walked half block,
when he placed the pistol back of his
right ear, pulled the trigger, and fell to
the ground dead. Squire Darr was
fcrty-five years of age. He was a wild
over and leaves one child. He was
leading Republican politician. He had
served nearly five years as a justice of
the peace and has twice been elected al
